Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to Your shepherd, the Pope, a spirit of courage and right judgement, a spirit of knowledge and love. By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care may he, as successor to the apostle Peter and vicar of Christ, build Your church into a sacrament of unity, love, and peace for all the world. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
O God, shepherd and ruler of all the faithful, look favourably
on your servant Francis, whom you have set at the head of your Church as her
shepherd; Grant, we pray, that by word and example he may be of service to those
over whom he presides so that, together with the flock entrusted to his care, he
may come to everlasting life. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who
lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever
and ever. Amen.
